Cells: Prokaryote vs Eukaryote Cells: Prokaryote vs Eukaryote Cells have evolved two different architectures: Prokaryote “style” Eukaryote “style” Prokaryote cells are smaller and simpler Commonly known as bacteria Single-celled(unicellular) or These are prokaryote E. coli bacteria on the head of a steel pin. Prokaryote cells are simply built (example: E. coli) capsule: slimy outer coating cell wall: tougher middle layer cell membrane: delicate inner skin Prokaryote cells are simply built (example: E. coli) cytoplasm: inner liquid filling DNA in one big loop pilli: for sticking to things flagella: for swimming ribosomes: for building proteins Prokaryote lifestyle unicellular: all alone colony: forms a film filamentous: forms a chain of cells Prokaryote Feeding Photosynthetic: energy from sunlight Disease-causing: feed on living things Decomposers: feed on dead things Eukaryotes are bigger and more complicated Have organelles Have chromosomes can be multicellular include animal and plant cells Organelles are membrane-bound cell parts Mini “organs” that have unique structures and functions Located in cytoplasm How do animal cells move? Some can crawl with pseudopods Some can swim with a flagellum Some can swim very fast with cilia Pseudopods means “fake feet” extensions of cell membrane example: ameoba Flagellum/flagella large whiplike tail pushes or pulls cell through water can be single, or a pair Cilia fine, hairlike extensions attached to cell membrane beat in unison How did organelles evolve? many scientists theorize that eukaryotes evolved from prokaryote ancestors. in 1981, Lynn Margulis popularized the “endosymbiont theory.”
